Your Coloring Pajama Questions, Answered
What are coloring pajamas?
Coloring pajamas are soft bamboo pajama sets printed with fun outline designs that kids color using fabric markers. Once colored, the design is permanent — creating a one-of-a-kind wearable keepsake they made themselves.
How do coloring pajamas work?
Simply lay the pajamas flat, place a piece of cardboard between the layers to protect the fabric underneath, and let kids color the designs with fabric markers. Once finished follow the setting instructions included with your markers. Their creation is permanent and ready to wear.
What's included with the pajamas?
Each set includes a soft bamboo 2-piece pajama set — a long sleeve top and pants — printed with colorable designs. Fabric markers are available to add at checkout. Any fabric markers will work, or you can use ones you already have at home.
Do the designs stay after washing?
Yes — our coloring pajamas use permanent fabric markers so the designs stay vibrant wash after wash. Follow the care instructions included with your markers and wash inside out in cool water for best results.
Will markers get on skin?
Our fabric markers are non-toxic and safe for kids. If marker gets on skin during coloring it washes off easily with soap and water. For stubborn spots baby oil or makeup remover works well. Always supervise young children under 3 when using fabric markers.
What if markers bleed through fabric?
We recommend placing a piece of cardboard or paper between the layers while coloring — this is a standard precaution with any fabric markers and keeps everything neat and mess-free.

What age are coloring pajamas best for?

What if I prefer to use washable markers?
Our pajamas are designed to work with permanent fabric markers for a lasting keepsake. However for younger children or first-time colorers, some families like to practice with washable markers first.
